Inside the Vatican – 2022 Special Issue

Behold Your Mother: Mary in the Life of the Church

The 2022 Special Issue of Inside the Vatican, Behold Your Mother, is a beautifully crafted, collectible edition dedicated entirely to the Blessed Virgin Mary. This special issue explores Mary’s unique role in salvation history, her virtues, and her enduring spiritual motherhood across twenty centuries of Christian faith.

Beginning with the Angel Gabriel’s astounding message, this issue reflects on how Mary’s complete faith, humility, and obedience opened the door to salvation for countless souls. Through theology, Scripture, history, and spiritual reflection, the issue presents Mary not only as the Mother of God, but as the model disciple and the Church’s greatest witness to trust in divine grace.

Drawing on poetry, tradition, and Catholic teaching, Behold Your Mother highlights why devotion to Mary remains more compelling today than ever before. In an age marked by confusion and uncertainty, this special edition invites readers to rediscover Mary as a source of hope, consolation, and clarity—woman above all women glorified, and the solitary boast of a redeemed human nature.

This special issue is essential reading for Catholics seeking deeper Marian devotion, theological insight, and a renewed appreciation for the woman through whom Christ entered the world.
